Todd Panabaker � Made of cherry with northern white ash drawer sides, this lingerie cabinet (16 in. deep by 20 in. wide by 58 in. tall) was made as part of a bedroom set. Panabaker's inclusion of the saber-feet design was inspired by Mario Rodriguez's article "Where Furniture Meets the Floor" 47). The finish on this Shaker-style cabinet is a wiped-on polyurethane. (FWW #135, pp. 42King Heiple � Inspired by one of Ernie Conover's designs, Heiple's tool cabinet (15 in. deep by 36 in. wide by 17 in. tall) is made of black walnut and quartersawn white oak. The knobs were all turned from cocobolo, and the hardware is brass. Heiple also made the legs removable in case he should ever want to use the cabinet as a chest-on-chest. � Charles J. Morehouse This Chippendale chair (17% in. deep by 20?!! in. wide by 38 in. tall) is made of mahogany and finished with a brown mahogany oil stain and gloss lacquer. Morehouse, having recently become fascinated with the Queen Anne and Chippendale styles, began work on this chair after reading Eugene E. Landon's article "Making the Chippendale Chair" (FWW #60, pp. 38-45). Tips for photographing your furniture 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Use 35mm color print (negative) film of moderate speed (ISO 200-400). Clean and dust the furniture. The furniture will appear more three-dimensional if it is lit so that each plane has a different brightness. Take care, however, to avoid excessively bright highlights or dark shadows. To be sure the photos will be free of distortion, avoid the use of wide-angle lenses, and photograph with the camera positioned even with the center of the furniture both vertically and horizontally. Photograph the furniture from several angles. Include some head-on shots, as well as some shots that show both the front and side of a piece. Keep the background simple. A cluttered or other- wise distracting background may draw the viewer's attention away from the subject. MAY / ] U N E 2 001 87
